Aha. Now I understand the question. My statement about making sure the top and bottom face the same direction is correct. Plants don't usually grow down from the sky (unless they're in a hanging basket) :) My decision for this fabric would be made by figuring out where the repeats are. If you're going to have to piece your top and bottom

I'm not sure if this really has anything to do with your question, but I decide based on how much fabric I have. If putting the sides on first means I have problems with my top and bottom fitting the fabric, I add the top and bottom first...and vice versa. I miter stripes, but scenics I don't...

You can add additional borders to the smaller ones, or replace those borders. If it's a serious mix, you can add additional rectangles of a plain or background

Can't answer your tablet question, but my EQ7 for Mac came on a "stick" (the little plug-in that goes into the USB port). As long as the computer has a USB port, an external CD/DVD can be plugged in. My CD Rom on my MacBook Pro died, and it was less than half the cost of replace to add an external one. I'm really enjoying EQ7. I know
